I live in Ottawa Canada and appear to be the only guy in town who runs his S2000 all winter long. The others I've been in touch with don't do it because of the salt on the roads. The car certainly is not as stable in the winter as front wheel cars I've owned or a Volvo 240 I once had, even with the Michelin X-Ice tires on it. That being said, although the car does tend to go sideways a bit when going up a hill on a slippery surface, it never hit anything, and never failed to get me through. Haven't needed a push all winter. So it can be done.

The real downside is that all that salty, sandy crap on a slushy road goes all over your car because it is so low. You will be spending a lot more on washing your car than you have ever done before, and minutes after you've washed it, it will be filthy again. I'm looking forward to April, when the snow will be all gone!

I just did an email about this as well. I live in Minneapolis, MN as well and am thinking about what it would be like to drive around here in the winters. Thanks for your info, it is helpful.

 

Dudes, it just a car - a really, really good car - but it works in the snow if you put snows on it..

but do yourself the favour and keep it out of the salt.. salt really wears on the soft top and the soft top has that design flaw that causes the premature wear..

for hell sakes.. drive your s2k, its your car...
